problem connecting

[lostinlife]

i have cable internet, and i can not get one of my computers to access the internet. The only thing it says is can not find server, the internet was running on this computer at my dad's house I'm not sure if he had a cable connection or not? I'm not sure if you have to change anything if it was? I'm so confused? please help

What operating system is the computer running?

How are you connecting it to your cable internet?

On the IE screen, have you tried hitting the Detect Network connections?

[lostinlife]

no, haven't tried much, i'm kind of new to this, how would i find that

Go to "start" and then "run"

In the box that pops up type ( no quotes) "winipcfg" and then in the window that shows up click the drop down arrow and change it from PPP adapter to whatever your network card is.

What it says for ip addies and what not could be used to help let you know what the problem is. Try clicking "renew all" and see if that helps. ( you have to click the advanced button before you will see the renew all option ).

so i guess i fixed my problem, i installed XP on my computer and when i was done it worked. I'm not asking any questions i'm just happy it works:dontknow:
